About this map

The Oconee River winds through this central Georgia landscape, defining the character of the riverfront with numerous landings and sloughs. Small settlements like Minter and Tweed are connected by a network of rural roads, including Minter Tweed Rd and Bush Rd, which pass through a terrain dotted with small lakes and ponds such as Lake Lloyd and Watson Lake.

Genealogists will find several family-named burial sites across the quadrangle, including the Minter Cemetery, Moore Cemetery, Hall Cemetery, and Bracewell Cemetery. The presence of numerous river access points, from Troup Spring Landing to Diamond Landing, highlights the historical and practical importance of the river for local transport and recreation. The mapping of infrastructure like the Watson Lake Dam and various creek crossings, such as those over Turkey Creek and Pughes Creek, illustrates the managed water systems supporting the local community.
